Before I head on writing more about the movie, let me be clear on one thing, that this movie is…

STRICTLY FOR ACTION MOVIE LOVERS…..

Only for the people who love to be raw, sweaty, and of-course BLOODY!!!

The Expendables 2 Team

The opening of The Expendables 2 is bang bang with full of action and rough-tuff group of mercenaries on a rescue mission, Nepal. The action pack heroes are on three fully loaded vehicles, resembling war trucks, enter with grandeur.

The film takes off immediately and you find your favorite heroes doing the impossible action plots like the running through the jungles, jumping between tanks and explosions. Many action scenes are just mind boggling… But for all those who love these action heroes doing incredible stunts thenThe Expendables 2 is the right choice for this weekend.

The story of the movie….

Stallone and Arnold – The Expendables 2

After an explosive start to the movie, Barney Ross played by Stallone and his team of Expendables that includes Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, and Liam Hemsworth are called in for a mission to pay off a debt, their mission is to retrieve some classified information from a safe in the wreckage of a plane. Martial Art Maggie played by Nan Yu comes along to help. Unfortunately, the sinister Jean Vilain played by Van Damme steals the intel – the secret location of a store of plutonium & puts it to use. The worst part of the movie is that he also kills one of the Barney’s team member and heres where the revenge begins… So the Expendables vows revenge, hopefully saving the world at the same time, And then the twist that is all the co-stars join the fun from time to time that is Jet Li, Chuck Norris, Bruce Willis and the TERMINATOR – Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The Last words to say about the movie….

If you are an action freak and you love the Man of Steel, then surely you should go and give a treat to yourself watching The Expendables 2 gang presenting before you an action never seen before…My advice would be if you want to get thrilled for about 100 minutes then The Expendables 2 is a must watch. Go grab the tastiest popcorn and a chilled bottle of your favorite soft drink or you can even try it with mug of your favorite hot brew and enjoy the ride that’s called THE EXPENDABLES 2.I would rate this movie 3.5 out of 5.

Ek Tha Tiger looked very promising prior to its release and the film does entertain you to an extent.

The synopsis of the movie, SALMAN is Tiger, a super-heroic RAW agent who sprints, shoots and crunches bones without a glimmer of worry or sweat. Tiger is now entrusted with the task of collecting external intelligence by spying on a Trinity College Professor, who has apparently been approached by the ISI for sharing missile technology secrets. And that is where he ends up meeting his ladylove (Zoya) Katrina Kaif, the professor’s residence caretaker. Tiger introduces himself as Manish Chandra, a writer, and seeks her help in getting an appointment with the professor. And the best part is though Tiger knows that he is on a mission and he dare not fall in love, he loses his heart to Zoya, dance instructor, invites Tiger for a show and here is where you would find a twist in the story…

I don’t want to reveal the plot but the love story has a never ending action. The journey continues from Dublin to Istanbul to Havana and so on…It’s such a pleasure to see a Hindi film heroine not playing a damsel in distress that is Zoya she is also an active performer as Tiger. The action, is spectacular. There are chases on terraces, runaway trams and lots of smashed cars. It does tend to go on and on…Specially the bike ride of Salman at the Climax is just spectacular and a bit foolish too…you could just keep your heads aside and enjoy the macho show…

And mostly importantly, though Salman and Katrina deny being in a relationship in real life, their chemistry onscreen looks every bit convincing. And the duo is an absolute delight to the eyes!

Overall to say you can watch this movie definitely if you are a die-hard fan of both the stars…Overall to rate the movie, I would give it 3 out of 5.

https://siddsethia.wordpress.com/2012/08/18/movie-review-of-total-recall-siddharth-sethia-sbs/#respondSat, 18 Aug 2012 10:35:08 +0000http://siddsethia.wordpress.com/?p=107The Movie Total Recall was a tough assignment for the Director Len Wiseman since it was a remake of one of the best films ever made in the last decade and of course you can’t forget Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie. Science fiction movies are at peak nowadays and they do a good job on the box office in the 21st Century.

The Director of the movie Len Wiseman has done a great job along with Colin Farrell, Jessica Biel, Kate Beckinsale and Bryan Cranston. Len has made many great movies in the past and this could be said as this Total Recall is not all bad, though it’s far from good. Since it’s a remake of an epic movie i.e. in 1990 Paul Verhoeven had directed the film Total Recall, and although this new remake is less of a mind-bender, it largely benefits from featuring Colin Farrell in the role played by Arnold Schwarzenegger 22 years ago.

The story of the movie is as same as the Total Recall played 22years ago…

A factory worker named Douglas Quaid played by Colin Farrell is having a recurring dream about being chased and helping a woman escape and getting shot. He doesn’t know the woman is – it’s not his wife, yet he keeps having this dream over and over again. He tells his wife about it, but, of course, he doesn’t mention this other woman.

The world, in which the United Federation of Britain (UFB) is connected to the “Colony,” in other words Australia, by means of a long tunnel of Gravity that enables the colonized worker class to commute to the motherland on the other side of the planet every morning.

The Rekall is the main part of the film, Rekall creates memories for its clients. Quaid has an urge to live the life of a secret agent. But then the special ops arrives and spoils the party.This question won’t be answered until halfway through the film, though there is a nagging feeling we are being taken for a ride. Quaid’s wife, Lori, played by Kate Beckinsale, starts to aggressively pursue him once he reveals he has gone to Rekall.

The main character of the film that is Farrell’s Quaid, certainly in good physical shape, which thus allows him to be much more quick-footed in the many action scenes. The action sequences are on of the key elements of the movie.

Overall the film can be watched only if you were a fan of Arnorld and wanted to know whether the legacy has been carried or not. But apart from that just having fun out for two hours and keeping your mind aside and watching the movie is something that can be done… Overall from my end I would rate this movie 2.5 out of 5 just because of its action sequences.

Today, I was just going through some videos over YouTube & the topic I was looking for was “Future of India”, but as I was going through I saw one video that was related with some children and the title given for that video was something like this ‪Hope and future for India’s children – Dream India‏ – YouTube. And saw what Dream India does for the children.

I than visited their website to know more about them. Mentioned below is their vision and mission, which really inspires me to be a part of it.

Vision

To see an India free of poverty and illiteracy where the poor are empowered, an India where the bridge between the poor and the rich is within acceptable limits. An India in which today’s underprivileged youth succeed tomorrow, create a niche space for themselves, and are able to contribute to the growth of the country. Lastly we also dream of an India in which every other educated soul understands the importance of giving back what he has taken from the society. And that this makes India go from strength to strength.

Mission

To mobilise the undeniable and boundless energy, spirit and strength of India’s youth and carry out activities aimed at the betterment of life of the underprivileged and also the education of the under privileged kids. We hope to achieve this by forming groups from people living in same localities and helping them carry out the above mentioned activities in their respective localities. We believe that such work happening in different pockets of the nation would add up and help a lot of people.

I would really like everyone to visit the website of Dream India that ishttp://dreamindia2020.org/home. I am sure once you go through the website, you will also feel the same, and you will also feel the same. Do share your opinion on this.

https://siddsethia.wordpress.com/2011/07/19/case-study-team-work-score/#respondTue, 19 Jul 2011 18:08:17 +0000http://siddsethia.wordpress.com/?p=63Hi Everyone, As some of you all requested I have finally got something to share as a Case Study on Team Work i.e related to my earlier post SCORE…

To start with today many people are confronted to many problems in their own life’s they sometime even don’t find time for themselves. We face challenges at various places like home, school, colleges and even in professional life. We also end up with situations where in we want some one’s involvement to solve our problems.

I remember one saying that is, “No man is an island.” And this saying always reflects to one word that is TEAMWORK…

The word “Co – operation” if well practiced in organisation, Home, Academics etc states that Team – work is alive. Teamwork is a cooperative process that allows ordinary people to achieve extraordinary results.

The Situation

A Company’s management hired new employee for their newly opened consultancy firm. All the employees are new & hence they do not know each very well. Unfortunately, the hiring process of the company is not by batch that means sometimes the company will only choose one application among the 10 applicants that will pass the examination and vice – versa. In this, the sole applicant as always needs to adjust with his/her co-employee. During this period, he/she is not assured if he/she is playing the role in developing teamwork in the company. The work or transactions happen only in computer. In this working environment, developing teamwork is less possible. All the workers are busy meeting deadlines and don’t have to relax. Because of this situation, workers are not given the time to know each other very well, although they have little communication through computer. There is less communication and as a result their might be less opportunity of performing team building effort.

The Need

It is essential for company to develop a program that will allow opening the communication line between the employees. The major problem of this company is to effectively develop or find ways in strengthening teamwork within the workplace.

The Solution

To find the best solution, the company must brought experts in team building. This expert could orient the employees on ways in strengthening teamwork this can also be done through seminars that will incorporate games in the discussion. The company can also have a once a month gathering for all the employees in different branches if possible, if not only those employee in the same office. This will serve as get to know more time for the employees. Eventually this event might help in strengthening teamwork.

Strategy – Make some plans to achieve the goal.

Clear Roles & Responsibilities – The Team members needs to define themselves with their roles to outperform to achieve organisational desired goals.

Open Communication – Each member in the team should be open to feedback & share their best practices.

Rapid Responses – If the team is facing any problems then the members should quickly react to the situation in a positive manner & reach to the conclusion of Problem solving.

Effective Leadership – Team leader should be a person who can draw out and free up the skills of all team members to attain the personal & also organisational goals.

The Result/ Benefits

The members will become committed to the success of the team and will aim to achieve the highest level. Together the team members may contribute to achieve the team’s goals.Individual employee will encourage their fellow members to achieve, contribute and learn. They will become open to discuss issues with the team members, be honest, trustworthy, supportive, and show respect to the team and to each individuals. Lastly, all the members in the team will actively listen to the concerns and needs of their members, will value their contribution, and will express help to create an effective work environment. Team members will becoming willing to give and accept constructive criticism and provide faithful feedback.

This is how the SCORE works that is Strategy, Clear Roles & Responsibility, Open Communication, Rapid Responses & Effective Leadership.

Strategy – The individuals in the team needs to share their ideas & strategize themselves to achieve their Team goals & also Organizational Goals. They need to understand the risks & opportunities and take necessary steps.

Clear Roles & Responsibility– The individuals in the team needs to identify their responsibilities & function their tasks accordingly.

“Coming together is a beginning Keeping together is progress; and Working together is success”

Blast inside car at Dadar West, Blast at a shop in Zaveri Bazaar in South Mumbai & a blast at Opera House in South Mumbai.

This is what Mr. Chidambaram said after the blasts that, there was no prior intelligence information on the attack, and no group so far has asserted responsibility for the bombings.

Mr Amitabh Bachhan also said from Delhi that he is very much upset about the blast that took place. And also mentioned that Mumbai will never slow down its space so it will gain its space asap.

Since Mumbai Police and also the other various organisation like ATS and other such org. are working together as a TEAM. I’m sure since they have identified that it was not a remote – triggered Blasts it was ammonium nitrate that was been used…So hoping that they will figure out more clues and help Mumbai to be a better place to live in…
